Plans are to take it out this Sun. I believe at Norwalk. Just for some shake downs and make sure eveything works correctly, I'm not sure when it will be turned loose,probably be quite a while seeing how Dave has a serious learning curve in front of him. I'm hoping I have time to make it up there Sun.

It'll tentatively be turned loose at Norwalk on May 12th for our COFBA Day.

Sign up, we need 25 more people else it's not gonna happen.

Steve hit the nail on the head.Don't plan on seeing any ***** out passes from me for a little while.

I've never driven a car this fast before and plan on turning up the wick slowly.
I'm going to get comfortable driving it before putting the spurs to it really hard.

I know Wheel put together a car that will go down the track straight but the 190 traps might take a little bit of time to get accustomed too.

Seriously it's easy to "talk" about doing 190+ in the 1/4 but the people I know that are doing it suggested I take a month or two to learn the car before cranking up the boost.

Don't think I'm going to go out and run 11's for a month or anything like that.

Some of us understand Dave... same thing Kyle's gonna have to do when he gets his car back. I'll be doing the same next year when I get back to the states. Good luck with it all, can't wait to see it moving!
